Hi Pavel,
Thanks for the review.

Hi!
The documentation being added contains overall description of the
LED Flash Class and the related sysfs attributes.

+In order to enable support for flash LEDs CONFIG_LEDS_CLASS_FLASH symbol
+must be defined in the kernel config. A flash LED driver must register
+in the LED subsystem with led_classdev_flash_register function to gain flash
+related capabilities.
+
+There are flash LED devices which can control more than one LED and allow for
+strobing the sub-leds synchronously. A LED will be strobed synchronously with
+the one whose identifier is written to the flash_sync_strobe sysfs attribute.
+The list of available sub-led identifiers can be read from the
sub-LED?
Indeed, this naming will be more consistent.
+ - flash_fault - bitmask of flash faults that may have occurred
+ possible flags are:
+ * 0x01 - flash controller voltage to the flash LED has exceeded
+ the limit specific to the flash controller
+ * 0x02 - the flash strobe was still on when the timeout set by
+ the user has expired; not all flash controllers may
+ set this in all such conditions
+ * 0x04 - the flash controller has overheated
+ * 0x08 - the short circuit protection of the flash controller
+ has been triggered
+ * 0x10 - current in the LED power supply has exceeded the limit
+ specific to the flash controller
+ * 0x20 - the flash controller has detected a short or open
+ circuit condition on the indicator LED
+ * 0x40 - flash controller voltage to the flash LED has been
+ below the minimum limit specific to the flash
+ * 0x80 - the input voltage of the flash controller is below
+ the limit under which strobing the flash at full
+ current will not be possible. The condition persists
+ until this flag is no longer set
+ * 0x100 - the temperature of the LED has exceeded its allowed
+ upper limit
Did not everyone agree that text strings are preferable to bitmasks?
Pavel
I just forgot to update the flash_fault documentation. Will fix in the
next version.
